IT WAS a resilient win for Carlton in the VFLW, with the side holding off a strong-willed Southern Saints outfit.

Here is what Tom Stafford had to say on the performances from the AFLW listed players.

Lauren Brazzale
Stats: 12 disposals, two marks.

She played on the wing, and she provided plenty of run on the wing. She was involved in some key scoring involvements, and she provided some great experience and leadership for the team.

Charlotte Hammans
Stats: 10 disposals, eight tackles, two goals.

'Hamma' played up forward, but she spent a little bit of time on the wing. 'Hamma' kicked two goals and looked very dangerous up forward, and then she also had eight tackles inside the forward 50 which is really impressive.

Annie Lee
Stats: 14 disposals, four tackles, three marks.

Annie had a great game off half back. She provided heaps of run and obviously she had lovely disposal by foot, and she was very efficient and dangerous running off from defence.
